Can't wait to chat with Helen McClory tomorrow! I loved this in "Lore" -- "The weather could change on a penny-spin." And indeed, it does.

A story in Helen McClory's collection, "Lore," creeped me out so much I still remembered it years after I read it. It's in her wonderful collection, MAYHEM & DEATH. It's available at 404 Ink if you're in the UK.

New Poem Day!
"God and the Aquifer" on Pink Hydra. I wrote this one after my dad chewed me out for failing to maintain a window.

A pink hydra with snake heads on a yellow background with text "Many heads, one mission. Get writers published and paid."

Oh, I absolutely _adored_ this one, but I've already read it. Perfect choice though, exactly the kind of story I'm looking for.

When canceling your disney subscription, may I recommend listing your reason as 'other' and in the text field they give ya to list the reason, copy-paste as much of the US constitution as will fit.
